Tournament History

Robert Karlsson completed his comeback from the eye injury which ruined his 2009 campaign with a comprehensive three stroke victory at the 2010 Commercialbank Qatar Masters presented by Dolphin Energy. The Swede, the 2008 European Number One, was sidelined for four months of 2009 with serious eye problems, but was back to his best in Qatar, producing a flawless seven under par final round to win by three shots from 2009 champion Alvaro Quiros. The event has been staged at Doha Golf Club since its introduction on The European Tour International Schedule in 1999. Past winners include Ernie Els (2005), Adam Scott (twice, 2002 and 2008), Retief Goosen (2007) and Henrik Stenson (2006).
